A very common phrase used here in NZ and OZ,

Universal is AP70 made by ADI but discontinued 2-3 years ago. I have a fair bit and wont run out for a while. I use it in place of Unique and use it in pistol loads and rifle loads. 308 , 303,...

10 grains of AP70 with a tuft of Dacron to hold the powder against the primer will give you around 1500 fps depending on boolit profile. I like bore riders and boolits sized .314. I use up to 13...
